Mobile Cloud Solution

mCaliper is a mobile solution for keeping track of measurements done with a digital caliper,
micrometer or any other manual measurement tool. With the help of a mobile device connected
to the digital caliper all results are immediately stored in the cloud.

Solution

Quality Control Departments of manufacturers around the world face the same challenge of no
traceability of the measurements performed manually by the operators. Results are usually hand
written on notebooks or unaccounted for.

Already having the experience with Scan Fit and Measure systems EngView team decided to develop a
solution that will help operators send manual measurement results to a mobile device and then store
the data in the cloud. A measurement plan displayed on a mobile device prompts the operator which
dimensions to check and immediately calculates the deviation from the nominals. Bluetooth connection
between the smart phone and thedigital caliper ensures that the measurement data is safely stored in
the cloud.

mCaliper is a software solution that consists of a mobile application and a cloud server.

What do I need to start using mCaliper?

Manual measurement tool

To start you will need a manual measurement tool like a digital caliper, a digital micrometer
or an indicator that could connect to an Android device via Bluetooth or USB.

mCaliper applications

mCaliper is a set of applications facilitating the work of the quality control engineers for
the preparation of measurement plans, storing of measurement data and reporting to
management and customers.

Advantages

Traceability of every measurement

The work of the QC teams is usually difficult to track and trace back days, let alone
weeks or months. With mCaliper all data is saved at the moment of measurement,
ensuring traceability of the measurement results as required by ISO standards.

Automation of the manual measurement process

Predefined measurement plans prompting which dimensions and geometric tolerances are
to be controlled. Measurement plans are easy to execute and the results are safely
stored in the cloud.

Mobility

mCaliper gives operators the freedom to use the caliper everywhere in the production
facility without the requirement to be plugged to a computer. The solution uses a
mobile device receiving data from the caliper through Bluetooth or other
connectivity.

Analyses of measurement data

All measurement data is stored in the cloud or on an internal network server allowing
quick access to the measurements results. The QC engineers can review measurement
results with comparison to the nominal drawing, see graphical representation of the
deviations over time and analyze data.

Automatic reporting

The system generates reports that could be sent to managers, customers or suppliers
to prove the quality of the production.
